How to represent sequence features (do they belong to sequence or part)?

Part has features and has a sequence (piece of DNA with molecular function combined by BB assembly)

Sequence has features but a part already has sequence

Tools to create and edit ontology and RDF instances?

Protege from Stanford?

IsaViz from W3C?

existing RDBMS <-> RDF <-> objects (e.g., Javascript)

Do we need "Device"?

I want to build a NOR gate vs. I have a NOR gate

Find a way to use MediaWiki software to work with the Semantic Web ontology of biological parts: create a UI from the description of a part in the ontology that would check the entered information for correctness according to the part definition in the ontology.

To read

As biologists increasingly rely upon computational tools, it is imperative that they be able to appropriately apply these tools and clearly understand the methods the tools employ. Such tools must have access to all the relevant data and knowledge and, in some sense, “understand” biology so that they can serve biologists' goals appropriately and “explain” in biological terms how results are computed.

Data or metadata

(from LSID best practices)
Data is defined as a sequence of unchanging bytes. Examples of data are microscope images, a protein sequence, a text file, etc. Metadata is usually information that describes the data either literally (date created, MD5 check sum, size) or contains information describing the relationship between the data and other objects.
If you cannot determine what should be data and what should be metadata from your data model, follow this rule of thumb: Large byte sequences are easier to manipulate as data, while short byte sequences can be included as data, metadata, or made available in both forms.
